Just....what? It would make more sense if Burai didn’t know Geki was his brother.

Also I’m amazed Burai was a break out character. He does almost nothing but show up and summon Dragon Caesar after he joins the team. Some episodes he doesn’t even bother to transform and some episodes he doesn’t appear in at all. The series treats him like a guest star at best (he’s not added to the opening titles but Dragon Caesar is lol) his death didn’t feel sad it just felt like “oh finally”’ Mighty Morphin is really dumb and preschool (in fact the show didn’t hit it’s stride until In Space tbh maybe Turbo’s second half if I’m being generous) but one thing I’ll give them is they handled the 6th member concept better (at first) Tommy hangs out with the other Rangers, he’s added to the main titles, Saban made the wise decision to move most of the Dragon Ranger-less episodes to before Tommy’s intro (there was one episode they didn’t but it featured Lamy who was introduced the same arc so there was no choice) and the Zyu2 stuff Toei film for Saban actually featuring
him participating in battles and not just a glorified mecha summoner! Of course Saban took the problem in the other direction when they made
him the glory hogging White Ranger..

You aren't entirely wrong here. For being the first multi-episode Sixth Ranger, Burai was so terribly underused that it should be illegal! Remember, this was a Veteran Actor who previously did Change Pegasus in Changeman, and he got a weird deal with Zyuranger. In Ep. 26, they don't even mention him despite the fact that another hand would've been helpful! In Ep. 27, he shows up in suit before the commercial break, but he's gone and not even mentioned after the break! Regarding those two episodes, I've often wondered if maybe they were aired out of order, especially 26. I feel as though the whole "We Need You Just To Summon Dragon Ceaser!" bit was to help the audience acclimate to the idea of a Sixth Ranger. That or the main Zyuranger people didn't think that the Sixth Ranger concept was going to be a permanent thing and thought that Zyuranger was just going to be a "one-and-done" special gig.
